Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is taking decisive action during this transfer window as they aim to part ways with their star player, Kylian Mbappe. Concerns have arisen within the club that the talented forward might choose to leave on a free transfer at the end of his contract next summer. SportsWeez has received confirmation from reliable sources about PSG’s intentions.
The situation started unfolding earlier this summer when Mbappe made it clear to PSG that he has no plans to extend his contract beyond 2024. In response, PSG communicated to him that while they respect his decision, they would explore the possibility of selling him to another club to recoup a substantial transfer fee.
Recently, Mbappe rejoined pre-season training under the guidance of the new manager, Luis Enrique. However, much to the player’s surprise, PSG has now asked him to stay at home instead of joining his teammates on the tour of Japan. This unexpected turn of events has left Mbappe’s future hanging in the balance, with PSG now actively seeking a buyer for him due to the contract impasse.
Real Madrid has emerged as a long-standing contender for Mbappe’s signature, should he indeed leave PSG. In the past, there were discussions about the French forward joining the Spanish giants on a free transfer when his previous contract was expiring in 2022, but ultimately, he had a change of heart.
However, an immediate move to the Santiago Bernabeu might prove challenging due to PSG’s hefty €200 million asking price, a sum Real Madrid seems unwilling to meet.
SportsWeez has gathered that Real Madrid might consider pursuing Mbappe during this transfer window if PSG lowers their asking price to a more palatable range, perhaps around €150 million. However, another plausible scenario involves waiting until January to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the talented forward.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future and PSG’s efforts to find a buyer, Mbappe and his representatives remain resolute in their stance. They assert that he will not be coerced into leaving PSG and will only consider moving to another club when it aligns with their interests and plans.
